SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 45

The correct answer 3 i.e. A goal scored accidentally into one's own net.

In football, an "own goal" occurs when a player accidentally kicks or heads the ball into their own team's goal net, resulting in a point for the opposing team. This usually happens during a defensive struggle where a player tries to clear the ball but misdirects it. The goal is credited to the player who last touched the ball, regardless of their intent. It is often considered one of the most unfortunate and embarrassing errors a player can make on the field.
